Repo Fund Rates

How is RFR Euro Calculated?

All repo trades labelled as specials are combined by settlement date and by individual benchmark, and are sorted by descending rate. Then, the 25% of trades with the lowest rate are removed from the population, before combining the filtered set with general collateral trades, for the final VWAR calculation. After the specials filtering process is applied and 25% of special trades have been removed, the remaining set is combined with repo trades labelled as GC (general collateral) to form the set of trades eligible for calculation. Each benchmark is the volume-weighted average rate of eligible repo trades (general collateral and filtered specials).
